People come up will all sorts of excuses for not investing in themselves but honestly, there is only one real reason? You may hear people say that they don't have time to invest in themselves but that's a futile argument when it only takes a few minutes per day to get a return on any investment into one's self.

The first two reasons people give for not investing in themselves are surface reasons. When someone says they don't have time that really means investing in themselves is not a priority. When they say they can't afford to invest in themselves it's because they aren't making it a priority.

So the question then becomes "why aren't people making the investment into themselves a priority?" The answer is a simple one. They don't invest in themselves because they don't believe in themselves. Listen as I explain in the video below. Be sure to leave a comment below let us know what you think.

As we kick off New Black Wall Street week we could think of no one else to set the ton than our beloved brother, Certified Financial Educator, Evan Jefferson, founder of ERGJ Enterprises and New Black Wall Street. Evan's passion for our community is strong and like all of our panelist for this week, he's solutions focused.

He laid out a plan for developing an economic power structure that will only grow and become more powerful as we continue to educate and wake more of our people up. As I always say we can develop our community without capital and we can't economically empower our community unless we first empower the people within our community economically. Evan Jefferson, Club Milli and New Black Wall Street are empowering our people with real financial education. See for yourself.
